You do not have to take the entire block. You can take individual Multimedia classes. However, if you want to receive a Multimedia skills award or a degree, you will have to take the entire block for that skills certificate.

"Do I have to take a lab?"

If you are enrolled in a Multimedia class, you must also enroll in the 1-unit Multimedia lab class for access to the labs. These Labs are a way for you to also get help from our Tutors.

"Do I have to enroll in a lab if I have my own computer?"

Yes, you do. In this case, you can talk to the instructor and make specific arrangements. Think of the Labs as a collaborative working studio where you get help from amazing Tutors!

"How do I get an 'A' in lab?"

To achieve an A in lab you must acquire 30 hours of lab time over the course of the semester. Your time card must indicate the number of hours.

"What if I can't come to the scheduled lab time?"

That does not matter. You can come to the lab in your free time. You do not have to be in the lab during the time listed in the schedule. Check the posted lab hours after the first week of school to see when the lab hours fit into your schedule.
